Begin And Maintain A Gratitude Journal

I have been keeping a gratitude journal since the middle of May.  While I don't get to enter something everyday, I have been doing a good job of a couple times per week.  First I list 20 things I am grateful for currently.  I seem to write things I am thankful more than grateful, but nonetheless.  Then I write 20 things I would really like, as if it has already happened.  It has really helped me to visualize how I imagine our life to be in 5 or 20 years.  Amazingly, having done so, I found that the end of May, beginning of June had a lot of reorders in my business.  Not that I should be, but I am always amazed that the energy I put out in to the universe, comes back to me.

a little different for a day time date, but it was fun.  Still made it home in time to put Josh to bed

Etsy

I finally bought something on Etsy.  I had looked before when we were designing Josh's new room and the nursery back last fall.  I just never took the plunge.  Well, I needed some invitations for Josh's 3rd birthday.  We are having it at Make a Messterpiece and I wanted something to go along with the paint splotches theme.  I don't know if there might have been anything in stores, but since we've been stuck home after Josh's surgery, I went looking.

I love these, they are personalized and I even got some thank you notes for him.  Though I'll probably still be writing these thank you notes, (hopefully with input from him).  I got a few extra too so that he has some for the future.  plus each purchase from this seller came with envelopes and free shipping.  I think it was worth it!

I think I might be using Etsy more in the future.
